Humors of the Courts-A Question of
Doctors Fees.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNET, November 3O.-Yesterday WAS
doctors day in the court here. County
Judge Crews was called upon as court,
to adjudicste a case, wherein DR.. j. W..
Carhart, of Lampasas, wanted 800 from
j. G. Wilson and his son, W. A.
Wilson, of this county, for having
professionally brought about an estrange-
ment between the latter gentlemen and
one of his arms. The son about year
ago was working in his fathers cotton
gin, in which he got his arm so badly
mangled as to necessitate amputation.
Drs. Ca hl t and Jenkins were sent for,
and according to their testimony, when
they arrived, Wilson, senior, told them to
cut loose (the ARM and he would see
that they got their pay. They did so, the
patient recovered, and since then the
doctors have been trying to recover also.
Til attorneys for the doctors said they
could hold the elder Wilson for their fee,
because q promise to pay for work 10 be
performed, made before performance, Is
an original obligation, and not collat-
eral undertaking in the nature of surety,
and, therefore, need not be reduced to
writing. The attorneys for Wilson
claimed he was not liable in this case, be-
cause a certain railroad company was not
held liable for coffin in which to bury
an employe rendered useless to the COM
pany through an undue familiarity with
aid company's car wheels. The lawyers
also cracked some other light legal jokes,
occasionally coming back to the cotton
gin incident by way of variety. The
court finally rendered a decision releasing
the father, and giving judgment against
W. A. Wilson, and sureties on his appeal
bond, made in the Justices court, for the
amount claimed.
While the foregoing case was progress
ing, another one was getting ripe, of
which set of false teeth, an irate Ameri
can citizen, dentist of this city, and $40
paid out, ex pended and disbursed, formed
the component parts. The dentist had
made, manufactured, vulcanized and ad-
justed set of upper and lower molars,
with incisors and eye-teeth to match, for
the wife of Mason county man, which
teeth according to the plaintiffs allega-
tion) didn't fit, failed to stay in, and re-
fused and altogether neglected to
mdsticate. According to the doc
tors version of the case,
soon after the teeth were put in the lady's
gums took a sudden notion to go out of
business, and commenced reducing stock
-shrunk up, as it we're, and that this
together with the shrinkage of
the husbands pocket book to the extent
of $40, was the real origin of the
trouble. This case was compromised
before the lawyers had chance to lay
before the public in open court, their
views on the dental art, and the measure
of damages sustained in cases where set
of artificial teeth, made to chew, do not
chew, but eschew the prime object of their

" EST 1 OINI, A., august L I, 1901.
To the Idtor Of tie Dispaich:
read with interest Professor Win
ston's reply t. your query as to the
influence the tides have in regulating
the flow Of brtcsian wells, but it seems
that be answers your question mainly
ty asking others, and am sorry that he
should infer that your correspondents
statements should be taken RIM grd10
SaliS, though lie is undoubtedly right
IN not hazaIding all opinion without
closer investigation.
In reply to the question rs to what n
"full food tide Is, would state that
it is what is known in tide-water verna-
cular as q three-quarter flood, or when
the tide is running flood the strongest
After that the strength of the flood de-
creases, and then follows "slack
water" or tie turn of food to ebb.
The duration of the tide here is about
five hours flood and seven hours ebb
daily, or four tides in every twenty-iour
hours, governed of course by the moon.
Thus should the tide begin to rise
about Z A. NJ, we should have a " full
flood about 1920 A. VI. | will ex-
cuse the Professors scientific skepti-
cisms," but must say that he has me,
to use slang phrase, "where the hair
is short" when he asks about the Gin
creased flow synchronizing precisely
with the tide, &c. That would require
very careful and exact measurement,
both as to the actual time that the tile
BEGAN to flow or ebb, and also as
TO the capacity OF the different
wells, which minnie information am
unable to obtain. But to-day | took
the flow Of one Of our small wells At
7 A. NJ. on very nearly a &" full flood, -
tie amount Of water pouring from the
pipe Was seven and half gallons per
minute-this by actual measurement.
ALP. NJ, when the tide hal been
chLing about four hours, the foY was
six gallons per minute, and at 3 j. NJ,
q SIX hours after beginning of ebb tide,
it ran only five gallons a minute. |
cannot take any stock in the Oar

But the Democratic party occupies no
such equivocal position. II repndiated
the proposition Of these editors when
it said the Republican Judges bad
adjudicated upon the sovereign rights
of the State in defiance OF one Gt
might have said two) of the plainest
provisions Of the Federal Constitution. A"
II is true that Virginia intends to re-
cognize the decree in each single par
ticular case. But she is not going to
submit TO the usurping claim of the
Federal Court to fix the law in all
similar cases according to the dogma of
precedent. Tat point will be con-
tested in the conrt inch by inch,
as 1t has been for the last
i've years. And the best thing
TO do in aid Of that policy Will be TO
maze al the cases We can, to be tried
by just such juries ms Hanover county
has offered as model. 1 think it will
be found everywhere that as in 1865,
so now III 1887, our juries understand
tbeir rights, and will use them TO pre-
serve the Constitution, though judges
may attempt 10 decide the law against
it and lawyers desert its cause. Ger
taiulv jurics have better right TO pre-
serve liberty than a judgc hs, to destroy
it they know it and whether judges
ADMIT II or not it is fact which they
will insist upon.

view of the subject. The money getting
spirit Of the age looks upon these con-
tracts OF the state as they affect the
credit rather than the well-b-ing OF
these citizens and would sacrifice the
principles of liberty to the canons Of
trade. And | have not seen much to
hope for in the way the bar ap-
pears to view the struggle. Rather
tear the tendency is to add ore
more to the many warning instances
that history now records to show
that "iudicisry organization has been
en- effective, perhaps the most
effective, instrument for uphold
ing absolute and despotic governments,
and The one through which acts of OPP
preston and tyranny have been uni
formly and successfully consummated.

men it was ever my honor to he asso-
GIFTED with, himself an eminent Judge

this, in our country, is public opinion
as it speaks through the iuries OF a
people who are devoted to liberty.

clature Of London streets, remarks IN
cidentally: I'VE have in New York
not only the destruction OF history
long ago IN the change OF Queen street
into Pearl street, and in the late snob-
bish and silly change of Laurens street
TO South Fifth avenue, but = . there
has been an attempt to wipe out the
name of Lord Chatham from the
thorouebiare to which it was given in
honor of his protest against the OPP
preston Of the American Colonies.
: la Boston they do not thus
blot out all memories OF the past, nor

These paragraphs happened to fall
under my eye Just on the appearance
OF a recent and timely editorial in the
state on the naming Of the new streets
aid avenues to be opened in connec-
ton with the Lee monument. Though
the theme of the editorial is the inverse
of that of the extract and protest
against ignoring history and association
tie drift of the editorial is tho same.
The nomenclature of streets should
be such as to preserve the city's or
States past history i'll men or events
They should not have fastened to them
in seryile imitation OF the Philadelphia
trivial names such ones as " Straw-
berry," Mulberry" &c, &c. We have
names enough, and to spare-great
names, which mean something and at
tach us TO the noble men or noble events
of the past. Such names are educators
and promote patriotism, and should net
be lightly bestowed as if they were
dogs names. BY all means let us have
no vegetable appellations or bald

SOFT so seasonably suggested by your

seryatism impaired to US in the remarks
of the writer quoted-a man Of taste

that the proper authorities will look
into this matter.
